Modern Calf Housing Solutions for Healthier Calves

Reduce calf mortality through Focus on 5:

Agri-Plastics seeks to maximize animal welfare by focusing on 5 life-sustaining attributes of good calf housing. By developing our hutches with these attributes in mind, we are helping you improve the way you dairy.

The 5 Essentials of Calf Comfort

Ventilation

For a calf to thrive, it needs fresh, clean air with low ammonia levels. Agri-Plastics calf housing is designed to maximize airflow and eliminate stale air. Unlike tapered hutches, our square design provides more ventilation, shoulder room, comfort, and space for calves.

Temperature

Agri‑Plastics calf housing is designed for calf comfort in every season. Our 100% opaque hutches provide shade and protection from the elements while helping maintain a more consistent interior temperature. Combined with excellent airflow and ventilation, calves stay comfortable and protected year-round.

Bedding

Clean bedding management is designed into every calf housing setup. Rear access points, removable panels, and flexible pen configurations make bedding changes faster and easier while improving ventilation, cleanliness, and daily calf care.

Feeding

Agri‑Plastics calf housing is designed for calf comfort in every season. Our 100% opaque hutches provide shade and protection from the elements while helping maintain a more consistent interior temperature. Combined with excellent airflow and ventilation, calves stay comfortable and protected year-round.

Management

Now, we can’t do everything for you, so this is where you come in! With proper management, systems and procedures in place, along with the correct facilities and equipment to implement the other key points above, you will have a sustaining farm that will last and grow!

“We really like Agri-Plastics Calf Hutches! They are built to take abuse and the calf has a lot of room inside.The storm door option is wonderful as we live in Iowa and our winters can have a lot of snow. These doors keep the calf hutch warm and dry.”
